    These teams appear to be much worse than their records suggest.

    The ACC was 6th out of the P6 conferences and the MWC was right behind them at 7th overall.

    The difference between the Big 12 and the 2nd best rated P6 conference (B1G) was greater than the ACC's difference to B1G.

    Good thing I didn’t pick my wife based upon my past overall history. 

    Too bad Chris Beard didn't consult you on his personal life decisions.

    Again, nobody is saying RT is a great coach. Literally nobody.  If I'm wrong, then post a quote and I'll admit I'm wrong.   To claim that any of us are arguing RT is great is in fact "disingenuous".

    I have only claimed that he is a "good" coach and I stand by that.  Good enough for Texas? Probably not.

    Fresno using Massey Ratings:

    • After RT - 148.4 
    • During RT - 108.3  (#71 last year)
    • Before RT - 168.1

    Given our overall history, Terry is plenty good for Texas.

    Yea you’re gonna have to take it up with cdc.  I think he has a no cheater and no wife beater rule that is apparently non negotiable.  
     

    Ok can someone compare dean smith and bobby knight with Rodney please?

    Gerry has mentioned that the winning coach of our SS game last year was likely going to be the coach at Texas this season.

    In July (after super 2 is over- minor concern but not nothing) as an opportunity to get his feet wet before taking on a bigger role next year? Sure, that makes sense. 

    Super 2 for a 25 year old non-prospect. You are fucking delusional.

    not surprised to see lettuce fail

    Hensley is a spare too

    how soon until Singleton experience is over?

    I think the 26th spot comes down to Loperfido vs. Singleton. With Loperfido taking Singleton's 40 man spot as well.

    It's insane that a reigning (and two time!), healthy, and 31 year old Cy Young winner still isn't signed 10 days before opening day. I think a significant reason for it is the impact of analytics, which has Snell rarely pitch deep into the 3rd time through the lineup and also has teams prize the draft picks they would lose by signing a free agent like him. If I'm right, it's just the latest piece of evidence that MLBPA screwed up on the current collective bargaining agreement.

    Snell's problem is he has exceeded 130 IP twice in his career. He won the CY both times, but otherwise he's not worth a high AAV over a long term contact investement from the rest of his career. He wants to get paid like a #1, but hasn't shown he's capable of pitching to that standard consistently. It's likely he doesn't reach that innings level next season because it took him 6 years in between the 1st and 2nd time. No front office is paying $200M for a pitcher that will give you one quality saeson in his deal.

    I knew people were under seeding us. People didn't think we could get a 7 seed with 2 wins in the Big 12 tournament. We would have probably been a 6 at worst or 5. 

    All the metrics has us in the Top 20-25. That's a 6/7 seed line. It played out this season. In other seasons, we have been screwed, notably the season Florida got a 2-seed over us, and we got seeded as a 4, which lost to Arizona in Round 2, when the official thought 3 was 5.
